I have a question about this Graphics card in gaming. It seems like a really powerful GPU/GPUs but only Has 1 GB of Vram. So does that 1 GB of Vram really limit performance in games that go above 1 GB such as BF4? Or does the 1 GB of Vram still perform fine?
Thanks
 
Solution
Yeah I got it. Its enough for many titles to run at ultra 40-50 FPS but NOT ALL. Some ridiculous ones like Watch Dogs won't run anything above 35 FPS on High, let alone ultra. But overall its a good card, you'll be in the high-ultra 45+ FPS range.

There are few games which utilizes more ram like GTA 5 , watch dogs etc. It will work fine. It is in between gtx 770 and gtx 780. It draws 294 watt. It may give poor performance at high resolutions. It will run all the games at ultra settings at 1080p


 
I wasn't asking you, Kishore. And yes I know its 1 GB for each GPU minimum. I was wondering if he saw a card with TOTAL 1 GB RAM. Not 1 GB per GPU. Anyways yes its enough for processing many games. But I fear it'll not perform that well in FHD Ultra settings on latest titles. But high to very high on latest titles like BF4 in FHD, expect 40-50 FPS if you have a solid CPU.

No I haven't seen this GPU with 1 GB of Vram, just that only 1 GB is usable.
